Snow Plows have blocked access

We got a good dumping of snow in the Cascades on Monday . . . up to 14 inches in some places. You can expect snow from Skykomish on up. The pass cam shows US2 unplowed of several inches.

FS850, the access to Scenic Hot Springs, is well within the heavy snow zone and according to one report there is a snow berm in place from the highway plowing operations.

Expect more snow this week . . . and please do not park on FS850 (even if your 4wd can get in). You'll probably get trapped. Also, do not park on the highway, the shoulders, or in chain-up areas. These are tow-zones. The nearest safe parking is in the Surprise Creek Trailhead area within the BN Rail Zones.

Please give us at least two (2) days advance notice before you wish to visit!

The contribution to visit is $5 per person, per visit on weekdays and $10 per person, per visit on weekends and holidays. These funds help maintain the pools. Please do not contribute until you have first contacted the Property Manager/Caretaker. You will receive a Permission Email afterward and be added to the calendar for that day.

The Old Faithful DOT cam is located three miles north and at the same elevation as the main hot spring pools. As the springs lay on a north-facing slope, they typically retain deeper snow further into the season.

This camera is located at milepost 61.9 on US 2
on the west side of the summit.
